I was just wondering if we could at some point design are own ship. You would research each hi, med and low slot. The more slots the more money and time to research. Still comforming to Eve ship designs.
For exsample:
Low slot 1 would be 1000 isk and 1 hours to research.
Low slot 2 would be 2000 isk and 2 hours... and so on.
A duel slot for turrets and missile would cost more then just a single function slot. Alos be able to research cargo, power and cpu limits. Would this a something that people would like.
OH, also you would need to skill for each item to. Of course there would still be limit to the design but you would have a ship you like.
Just like to see your thoughts.

I am pretty confident that those ideas are already in the pipeline for EVE. Though it will of course be on a BP level and prolly not allow for any radical changes to the design.

From recent chats/interviews, it sounds more like they'll be introducing ship mod kits that allow you to tweak certain basic stats on a ship, thus customizing it a bit beyond the normal hi/med/low slot loadouts. I wouldn't expect full control, though, as that would be far too difficult to balance.

Allowing very broad modifications would ruin the game for me. I love the fact that you always have to compromise with ships; both in terms of the ship you buy and the modules you fit.
Having said that small customizations to ship designs would be fantastic particular for ship makers. Ideally these would be very expensive to purchase (or research ) leading to a position where each ship builder might realistically only choose 1 or 2 customization blueprints for their main ship lines.
This would allow ship manufacturers to compete by product differenciation rather than the current price war.
Also it would be nice if every custom design had 2 or 3 improvements (A single extra slot, 10% extra power, 20% extra cpu etc.) and at least 1 area where it was worse than the original 'standard' version. This would ensure
that customised version are not automatically prefered to standard versions. :)

Wow thanks for the feedback.
I was just thinking it would be fun to have some control over ship design. I hope the CCP can find a happy balance to it.
